list and so on. The length of the abstract text should be less than 300 words.
1. INTRODUCTION

The title is centred and all letters are capitals. After one blank line the name(s) of the
author(s) is/are printed. The name of the institute or company is printed directly below it. If
the authors are from more than one institute, all the names of the institutes should appear

is 14 points and centred. Full information of the corresponding author, name, affiliation,
